actually, now that i think of it, i could keep a transponder/remote key hidden in the car and just get a regular non-transponder, non-remote key to take in the h20 w/ me. my understanding is that such a key would open the doors but not start the car. is that correct? if so, can i just go to the hardware store and get a copy made of my trans/remote key? thanks again for the help ...
